The Human Cannonball is a promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is a team-colored plastic helmet with a white stripe and an undone safety strap, resembling the crash helmets worn by stuntmen.
The Human Cannonball has three unique styles, "Crash", "Burn", and "Override". "Crash" has no decoration at all. The "Burn" style adds Chinese dragons to the sides, while the "Override" style adds Team Fortress 2 stickers to the sides.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Human Cannonball was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Bugs

Trivia
- The skull-shaped sticker in the "Override" style is the RED team logo from Team Fortress Classic.
- The Human Cannonball's styles reference the aliases of characters from the 1995 film Hackers.
